If lawmakers don't pass a budget and Bevin does not call them back for a special session, parts of state government would shut down on July 1. Bevin said many programs near and dear to people's hearts would not be funded. He said Democratic House Speaker Greg Stumbo would be to blame.

Stumbo said the reason it is taking so long for lawmakers to approve a budget is because Bevin;s proposal was one of the worst plans presented in his 35 years at the state Capitol.

He also said Bevin's initial budget proposal contained numerous errors, including cuts to the state Department of Veterans Affairs after telling lawmakers in a televised speech the budget contained no such cuts.
